Why does it feel like nobody really likes anything anymore?

I’ve been trying to become more enthusiastic about things again. Especially after I read this article about the scientific basis of why everyone feels like they need to negatively judge other peoples things in order to elevate their own egos.<br><br>But the more I read online, the more I realize how much of a sweeping fever has swept over the Internet. Every person I read on literally every topic isnt happy with anything. Its all usually filled with other people negatively judging other things, or just outright hate for everything. No matter the topic.<br><br>It doesnt matter how big or small it is. Hell, I found this thread on reddit last night where most people were gunning for the highest post count within the thread for some bullshit award. The topic was “what would you tell your younger self if you could go back in time?” And if you read the top post and see it was just some top comment to go upvote as quick as possible so that you could be the first to say the first thing, its very obvious.<br><br>Im not even religious, but I think there is something wrong with people who do things like that. Anyone who goes out of their way to make other people feel bad just because they dont like something sucks.<br><br>So why does it feel like it has to be that way? Why do I need to negatively judge other peoples things in order to feel better about myself? It sucks.
